The first time I put my pen to paper
To make you feel harder about all the things you don't seem to hear,
I was so young I forgot about the character of my phrases
And my love came unclear:
After imprinting words into your naive little brain,
You still managed to burn the pages of misinterpretation
Into my skin.
Did you survive the mutilation?
I wrote again, when I felt like wrapping you in kindness.
When I was so wanting
I would've needed you myself and
Still your voice sounded so taunting
When you performed my letter for me,
I created you to be the audience of my misery
And you spat on my invitation.
Can't you know, there's no you without me??
I wrote every day
About your every crucial mistake,
I know you feel my warnings
And when you ignore them, your chest aches,
But you only bear your naked heart
For someone elses view.
What makes us alike, is that you wrote to your enemy
And I wrote to you.
The only time you decided to look up,
Your eyes didn't spare that old burning sensation.
They forced you to heal.
And so the lipstick on your letter smelt like insincere obligation.
I think I know
What you hate about my mirrors so much:
I'm the scent in your pillow
And the scream you can touch.
I'm the skin you can't peel
And the smile you have to lick.
No matter what impulsive happiness you feel,
My letters are what makes you sick,
And I hated you so much, when you repeatedly destroyed me;
When I found out
You're ashamed of being kind to me.
Why do you, even when I warn you,
When I caress your blades,
KEEP
CLOSING
THE
DIARY???
